BROKEN CRAYONS STILL COLOR!!!
We might be BROKEN crayons, but we're all from the same pack
# Join The Pack: Embrace the Journey of Healing
## Who We Are
We are the **Pack**, a community of free spirits and resilient souls. Our story began with two amateur motorcycle riders, united by a shared passion for the open road and a belief in the transformative power of "wind therapy." We've all faced our battles, struggled with our demons, and at times, felt like nothing more than broken crayons—discarded and overlooked.
But here, in the (crayon) **Pack**, we've discovered that even broken crayons still color; they create art, they tell stories, and they heal.
## Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to offer a sanctuary on wheels for those who seek solace from the storms of life. Whether it's trauma that's left its mark or addiction that's tested your strength, we believe in the healing power of the wind against your face, the hum of the engine, and the solidarity of the group.
## Wind Therapy: A Breath of Fresh Air
"Wind therapy" isn't just a ride; it's a journey towards healing. As we ride together, we leave behind the labels that once defined us. We're not addicts; we're adventurers. We're not victims; we're victors. Each mile brings us closer to peace, each turn a promise of a new beginning.
## Why Ride With Us?
- **Community**: Find camaraderie and support among fellow riders who understand your struggles.
- **Freedom**: Experience the liberating feeling of breaking away from the past and riding into a new chapter.
- **Healing**: Allow the rhythmic motion and the sensory rush of the ride to soothe your soul and mend your heart.
## The Road Ahead
We're not just a group; we're a movement. The **Pack** is growing, and our message is spreading: there's hope on the horizon, and it's accessible to anyone willing to grab the handlebars and throttle forward.
If you're ready to color outside the lines and chart a new course, we're ready to welcome you. Together, we'll discover that the best views come after the hardest climbs, and the greatest journeys begin with the turn of a key.
**Join us. Ride with us. Heal with us.**

Our pack is made up of junkies, alcoholics, convicts, christians, agnostics, atheists, males, females, people who suffer from depression, schizophrenia, over eaters, porn addicts, black sheep, loved and unloved, anyone who has gone thru personal trauma, or addiction, anyone who has felt discarded or overlooked.

Broken Crayons puts high value on loyalty and as a result, we use ESTABLE PUNCH EXCLUSIVELY for all of our embroidery needs! If you value honesty and integrity along with quality work executed with communication and expeditiously with competitive pricing, you need to look no further than Estable Punch!!
The patch that began the relationship between Estable Punch and The Broken Crayons...
Estable Punch takes our original patch designs and brings them to life with bright colors, and quality craftmanship.
When we send them a picture of what we want, within 24 hours, they send us a high resolution vector image of how the patch will look.
Estable Punch has worked with us with mix & matching so that we can meet the MOQ without buying a hundred of patches that we cant use...
On the rare occasion that there is a mistake or issue, Estable Punch reaches put to us right away and works with us closely to resolve it.
Since the Broken Crayons is not a club, but rather a movement, we wanted to be able to get our 12" logo patch onto other riders vests that may already have a back patch. Estable Punch was able to recreate our 12" patch into a 2.75" hat/chest patch
Join us for a very unique Poker Run, unlike any you've ever done before!! Being as we are the Broken Crayon Movement, our poker stops will not be at your traditional bars and restaurants, they will be at local organizations/facilities that help Broken Crayons heal and regain independence and quality of life. Grassroots Organizations such as Clothed In Righteousness who served nearly 5,000 homeless and underprivileged brothers and sisters in the first 3 months of this year alone!! An organization that supplies tangible needs, but focuses on building, strengthening and maintaining relationships with Broken Crayons in the Alliance area. Grassroots organizations like the Homeless Outreach Team who has been serving the Canton area homeless for over a decade now, helping to provide purpose, shelter and faith to their local Broken Crayons.
As we ride to each of these organizations/facilities we will have the opportunity to learn a little bit about what they do and those they serve. Our stops will be The Alliance Area Domestic Violence Shelter, Drive thru prayer at the First Assembly of God on Union and Vine, Pegasus Farm Country Store and Gardens, "YOUR" Pizza Shop of Hartville, The Commquest Campus in Canton and Coleman Health Services in Canton.
We will finish our run at a farm in Louisville ran by the Homeless Outreach Team, where we will celebrate the power of healing as we roast hotdogs and marshmallows around a bonfire, listen to live music and enter raffles. We Ride together AS Broken Crayons FOR Broken Crayons.
Discounted Entry fees will be available to EVERYONE supporting Clothed in Righteousness with requested food items for the homeless with one FREE entry to the person who brings the most items!
This run will be in memory of Crystal Black a fellow Broken Crayon who passed earlier this year and all proceeds will be donated in her name to Q's Heavenly Tails an organization close to her heart that saves the lives of Neonates and other animals. An organization that was born out of grief and remembrance, the embodiment of a Broken Crayon.
Time and all other details will be announced here and on our Facebook Page as we work out the details!

Our mission at Broken Crayons is to heal through wind therapy, family love and accountability and engaging outings and trips. We seek healing first for ourselves, then our brothers and sisters.
Broken Crayons was founded in April 2024 and has been providing a pack to broken crayons.
Broken Crayons was founded in Alliance, Ohio with hopes of a "color" (chapter) in all 50 states.
Budd Kuyper and Selwyn Huhn are the two original Broken Crayons that decided to start the Broken Crayon Pack, while administering their own personal wind therapy
Neither. It is a movement. MC's typically require dues and a significant commitment. Colors (patches) are earned through time and participation and must be returned to the club if a member quits. An RC is more of a fun group where members are not required to pay dues and if they have a patch, they can take it with them. The Broken Crayons hope to help replace voids we as "broken crayons" have. For some of us its love, some is a rush from drugs or alcohol, some its a sense of belonging. We are a non judgemental, accepting group with designs on being a national movement.
At this time, we do not have any dues, but we will "pass a hat" at times to assist our brothers and sisters in need. We have T-shirts available for purchase for riders and non riders alike, and patches available for purchase for riders only.
Absolutely!! We have some structure but we are not a club. We are a "pack" of broken crayons. A movement, a family.
We love our broken crayons, so come up and introduce yourselves to us if you see us out and about.
